Damon Wayans Gives Don Imus Two Thumbs Up

Posted on November 7, 2007 at 6:39 pm (PST)

Damon Wayans (47) was on The View this morning and he said he’s okay with Don Imus saying "nappy-headed hos." When many were calling for an end to using the word "nigger," Wayans continued to use the word in his routine even though he faced stiff fines at some comedy clubs. Wayans said:

"Freedom of speech, what happened to that? What happened to expressing yourself? At least I know where he (Don Imus) stands. And you know what? When he called them nappy-headed ho’s, I went, ’Wow, he’s right!’ Black people at home are laughing right now. White people are going, ’That’s not right!’ It’s all cultural."

Then Wayans went all Borat saying:

"Women today, most women I run into, don’t want to do the fundamentals. They don’t cook. … I make the money so she can make something to cook." Joy Behar asked, "What if she makes as much money, though, and she says, ’You do the cooking’?" Wayans replied: "Then we can talk. But I haven’t met her. Beyoncé is taken."

Dick Masterson would definitely agree with Wayan’s point about women. Click here to see Dick run his mouth in this video. Scroll down to see it.

Barbara Walters Is Desperate for The View to Survive

Posted on December 24, 2006 at 12:40 pm (PST)

Barbara Walters, who supported Rosie during her racist "ching chong" tirade, accusation of Kelly Ripa being homophobic, and unprovoked attack on Donald Trump for giving Miss USA a second chance, had to mend wounded egos at "The View" holiday party the other night after she gushed ad nauseam over Rosie O’Donnell, but somehow forgot to praise the rest of her yakking yentas. As staffers and guests boozed and nibbled at Providence on West 57th Street, Barbara took the mike and apologized for O’Donnell’s absence, saying she had to attend a funeral. Who died? It was probably Rosie’s Christmas spirit. "She went on to say what a wonderful addition Rosie had been and how much Rosie wanted the show to succeed. It went on for almost too long, then she exited the stage," our spy said. "I saw Joy Behar walk over to [producer] Bill Getty and have a very animated discussion. A few minutes later Barbara interrupted the crowd again. She hadn’t even mentioned Joy or Elisabeth Hasselbeck the first time around. She apologized and gave some lame speech about how the show would not survive without them. Her excuse for not mentioning them was that she hadn’t prepared notes . . . I don’t think it went over very well with Elizabeth or Joy." Earlier, Getty had revelers whooping when he quipped, "It has been a very interesting and exciting year. Meredith [Vieira] decided she wanted to leave, and we decided we wanted Star [Jones] to leave."

Now it makes sense why Joy Behar has been making reverse racism remarks lately. Joy can’t get Barbara’s approval unless she exhibits the same inappropriate behavior as Rosie. Without shocking controversy no one cares about The View. The FCC should really enforce their decency rules with regards to daytime television, and penalize The View for Rosie’s racist tirade against Asians, which amounts to hate speech. Wait, I forgot, no one cares unless the hate is directed towards someone who is gay, black, or a woman.

Joy Behar Calls Donald Rumsfeld Hitler like on The View

Posted on December 19, 2006 at 9:28 pm (PST)

Let me say this again. The View is a daytime talk show, and racism is too offensive to be allowed during day-time television. Save that for the HBO specials with the appropriate ratings. Joy Behar, who is often mistaken to be Jewish, calls Donald Rumsfeld, who is German, Hitler like. I really don’t care what kind of feelings, or bias, Behar has. I don’t want to hear any more racism, or reverse racism coming from that show. That show is out-of-control, and Barbara Walters is missing in action. The audience even realizes that those remarks are inappropriate, and they let Behar know it with their booing response. Please ladies, start acting like professionals. This isn’t a bar, it’s The View.

Katharine McPhee Cohosts The View

Posted on July 27, 2006 at 8:03 pm (PST)













Katharine McPhee is the latest anti-Star to guest host The View with Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, and a totally “down” Elizabeth Hasselbeck sporting a pink ’do rag. Over the course of the morning, the 22-year-old announced that people ages 60 and over are “old” (Babs is turning 75 in September!), dished about her 41-year-old boyfriend, and floated conspiracy theories on Lance Bass‘ latent he-crush on Justin Timberlake.

Joy: “Don’t you have a boyfriend also now these days?”
Katharine: Yes.
Joy: “Tell us about him.”
Katharine: “He’s cool. His name’s Nick and we’ve been together for about a year.”
Barbara: “He’s a little older than you?”
Katharine: “Oh, a little…19 years!”
Elisabeth: “What does your dad think about that?”
Katharine: “Everyone was pretty cool about it in the beginning. You know, it happens a lot, and it is a lot of years but I’ve always been a little bit older than I am.”
Joy: “Think of it this way; when you’re sixty he’ll be eighty.”
Katharine: I mean it isn’t really that big of a difference…once you’re old, you’re old!

Barbara: “[Lance Bass] says he feels liberated [about coming out of the closet] and in the article [in People magazine] he said that he told all the other members of the group [’N Sync], everyone except Justin Timberlake. I wonder why.”
Katharine: “Yeah! Why is that? I didn’t understand that either.”
Joy: “Because he must be scared of Justin. What else could explain it?”
Katharine: “Maybe he has a crush on him!”
Elisabeth: “Who knows? Maybe he did at one time. You never know.”

In a 2001 McDonald’s commercial Lance plays spin-the-bottle and it lands on Justin, whose expression says he was definitely not lovin’ it.

P.S. Note to McPhee: Just because your boyfriend is mature, experienced, and knowledgable about life and the world, doesn’t mean you will instantly have the same qualities just because you’re dating him.

Joy Behar French Kisses Meredith Vieira on The View

Joy Behar and Meredith Vieira
Joy Behar and Meredith Vieira

Friday’s episode of The View was the last hoorah for co-host Meredith Vieira, she’s set to fill Katie Couric’s seat on The Today Show. Joy Behar, Barbara Walters, Star Jones, and Elisabeth roasted their co-host for their send-off, but Joy Behar gave Meredith Vieira something to really remember, a French kiss!

Behar went in for the liplock during her turn at the dais. “I love you so much, you know that,” she told Vieira. “I just don’t know how to express it. So I thought to myself, ’What would Rosie O’Donnell do?’”

That’s when Behar made her move.

Afterwards, Vieira talked backstage about her favorite moments from her last day on ’The View.’

Vieria joins ’Today’ in September.

I can’t wait to hear Rosie comment on this Brokeback Mountain chapter in The View’s history.

Watch the video of the French kiss in the gallery after the jump…
